Nina,
Most "remotes controls" simply tell powerpoint to advance to the next or
previous slide (and not the projector).
Here's one for example:
Key RF - Control your powerpoint presentations remotely with this radio
frequency keypad. Works up to 100 feet, does not need line of sight. Simple
2 or 4 buttons
